Die of a broken heart

by Brytanee   Apr 27, 2006


Life is simple
Yet still so complex
First we're born
Then we exist
Only to die
And nothing more
Yet so many people
Value life so highly
And never stop to ask
Why delay the inevitable
Death is something
We cannot stop
Why live in fear
Waiting for death
To take you away
When you can take control
And find death yourself
Instead of waiting
For death to find you
Suicide is considered
A permanent solution
To a temporary problem
And is frowned upon by many
But why live your life
Everyday
With the pain
Of loving someone
Who feels the same for you
But has buried their love
Deep within
Where it cannot be shown
How can you expect
Someone to face each day
Knowing that you cannot hold
The one you love
Because they've convinced themselves
They no longer love you
But you know the truth
That their feelings still exist
Buried deep inside
For whatever reason
How could you dare
To even ask me to consider
Living each day
With a pain worse
Than any torture
The pain of someone
Grasping at my heart
And tightening their grip
All day long
When loving someone
Has become more painful
Than any physical pain
And it slowly drives you
To contemplating suicide
Until one day
You snap
And you realize
The slowest form of suicide
Is loving someone
Who loves you too
But just cant show it
And knowing that
One day
They will regret it
And feel the same pain
That you feel right now
And you don't want
To be there
When that happens
Because the only thing worse
Than being in pain
Is watching the one you love
With all your heart and soul
Cry as their heart screams
And drown their pain in tears
But when I take my life tonight
We wont call it suicide
We'll just say
I died of a broken heart
And maybe
Your heart can let go
Knowing that I am gone
So that you never have
To live with the pain
I deal with everyday
Because now it doesn't matter
If you love me or not
I am beyond reach
And you can let
Your love for me
Finally rest in peace
But until that day comes
I cry myself to sleep
Hoping and praying
That you finally realize
Your love for me
Is still there
And will stay forever
But your love for him
Is just your hearts way
To cope with the fear
Of being hurt
Because if you lost him
You'd move on
But if I ever hurt you
Your heart would scream
And bleed forever
But once you realize
That I'll never hurt you
Things will be okay
